Device for the treatment of herpes simplex by means of UV radiation

The innovation concerns a device for the treatment of herpes simplex by means of UV radiation according to the generic term of Claim 1.

Such devices enable the treatment of herpes Simplex without the harmful side effects of the previously used external application, e.g. of corticosteroids as well as the external application of a pharmaceutical which is necessary for the photochemical treatment Preparation on the affected skin area.

However, since these devices are generally designed as table-top devices, difficulties often arise when setting up the device, especially if there is no suitable one in the immediate vicinity of the treatment couch Parking space is available or if the device has to be applied to different parts of the body one after the other.

The innovation is therefore based on the task, a device for the treatment of herpes simplex by means of ÜV irradiation to create / easily in the immediate vicinity of the body parts to be treated with a simple structure can be brought and stored in a suitable place without taking up additional space, with easy movement of the light guide follows without exerting a damaging tensile force on it.

In the case of a device of the type mentioned at the outset, this task is carried out according to the invention by the characterizing features of claim 1 solved.

With this arrangement, the device can easily be moved from one treatment station to another bring them into the immediate vicinity of various treatment sites during treatment; the device can adapt to the movements of the light guide without resistance, which avoids stress. To Once the treatment has been completed, it can then be placed anywhere until further use. Production is extremely simple and can also be done using components that are available in series.

Further advantageous refinements of the innovation are described in the subclaims.

A preferred embodiment is based on the figures the innovation explained in more detail. It shows:

of the tripod, partly in section, with the spring clip attached.

As shown in Fig. 1, a known device 10 for UV irradiation with a movable light guide 12, which is held in a bracket 14 when not in use. The bottom side of the device 10 has as can be seen best from Fig. 2, a cylindrical pivot pin IS, which with a f LöTischartiyen approach 18 is attached to the bottom surface 20 of the device 10. The pivot pin 16 is in the circumferential direction with an annular groove 2 2 provided and protrudes into the upper part of a stand tube 24, which is at the level of the annular groove 22 of the inserted Pivot pin 16 has two diametrically opposed bores 26. The two are blunt through the bores 26 Ends of a resilient retaining clip 28 inserted such that they are in the annular groove 22 of the pivot pin 16 engage and thus cause a rotatable mounting of the device 10 in the stand tube 24. The retaining clip 28 is bent to a hanging hook on which the power cord 30 can be hung when the device is not in use.

The stand tube 24 is inserted telescopically into a stand body 32, in which it is by means of an upper The lower part of the collar 34 of the stand body can be locked at any desired height of the stand body 32 rests in a stand base 38, whose star-shaped foot struts 40 are at their ends are equipped with castors 42 - a foot switch 44 is attached to the stand base 38 and connected by a cable 46 connected to the device 10.

For use, the device 10 is brought to the desired location with its movable tripod, and the power cord 30 is after unhooking from the retaining clip 28 in a

Socket introduced. After switching on the device the treatment is carried out by means of the light guide 12 in conventional way.

Since the device is not immobile like the conventional table-top devices, the installation site can be the same Easily adapt to changed conditions even during treatment. The device 10 follows the without resistance Movements of the light guide 12 by making corresponding pivoting movements by rotating the pivot pin 16 in the stand tube 24 executes and thus avoids harmful tensile forces on the light guide 12.

In particular when treating several small areas of skin successively, it is often desirable to apply of the treatment head 48 of the light guide 12 to keep both hands free. For this purpose, the beam release can be operated with the aid of the foot switch 44.

After completion of the treatment, the device can be parked anywhere, whichever is best corresponds to the given conditions.

The design of the device in accordance with the innovation thus results in several significant advantages over conventional ones Devices of the type mentioned achieved.
